There will be live music
throughout the day, includ-
ing Marv & Rindy Ross of
Quarterflash and Oregon
Trail Band fame playing from
1 to 3 p.m.
Paula Perkins, one of the
show’s organizers, encour-
aged the public to come out
and enjoy the music.
“It’s a free concert, so
people can come out and see
the concert and walk around,”
she said.
Perkins noted that the
annual plein air paintout will
start at 9 a.m., even though
the landscape may still be
partially obscured by wildfire
smoke. Painters will station
themselves at different points
on the Ranch and paint till
noon. The People’s Choice
winner will be announced
at about 1:30 p.m., Perkins
said.
The paintings will be for
sale, with 20 percent of the
proceeds going to the Black
Butte Ranch Art Guild’s
scholarship and community
outreach funds.
The Guild provides signif-
icant scholarships for Sisters
High School graduates; last
year one student received a
$5,000 scholarship. Funds
raised through the event
also support Sisters School
District visual arts programs
and a portion goes toward art
acquisition for the Ranch.

BUMBLEBEES:
Critical population
is in trouble
lay eggs that develop into
additional workers, and the
bumblebee colony grows.
It’s at this point that bum-
blebees become the wonder-
ful, irreplaceable natural pol-
linators they are.
New queens and drones
are produced at a later stage
in the life of the colony, usu-
ally as winter is approaching.
Though we do not know for
sure, it is thought that fer-
tilized larvae develop into
queens, drones, and not work-
ers when the queen stops
secreting — or changes — a
specific pheromone. Larvae
destined to be queens are fed
more frequently and longer
than larvae destined to be
workers and drones.
Once that special queen
— who will survive the win-
ter — is selected the others
succumb to the elements of
winter and loss of flower-
ing plants and the surviving
queen goes looking for a place
to hibernate, survive winter,
and in spring it all begins
again.

— if the pollen holds out, and
the queen can hold up — the
larvae grow, pupate and, after
the miracle of metamorphosis
works it marvels, they emerge
as adults.
The adults who make it
out into the world are work-
ers. The queen continues to
